Entertainment Weekly has pointed our attention to a minor detail of a brief 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' promo that emerged yesterday, which urge viewers to stay until the very end of Tuesday's upcoming episode "0-8-4." We might have otherwise overlooked the suggestion as harmless promotion, until we became aware that the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo at the very end is seen to be wearing Nick Fury's iconic eye patch! Not to mention, Clark Gregg and other Marvel honchos have strongly hinted over Twitter to stay through the credits.

Previously, Samuel L. Jackson had remained coy about any potential appearances in the ABC series, though he suggested on multiple occasions that he might expect to contribute cameos in the vein of 'Charlie's Angels,' directing Coulson and his new team from afar. We'd be pleasantly surprised if ABC managed to keep a Nick Fury cameo under wraps until the very last moment, though we were already hooked into devouring tomorrow's episode regardless.

From ABC’s official description of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ episode 2, “0-8-4″:

Coulson and his S.H.I.E.L.D. agents travel to Peru to investigate an object of unknown origin, codenamed 0-8-4. But when he runs into Comandante Camilla Reyes, more than just sparks fly at 30,000 feet, on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
